Down Syndrome awareness can challenge a lot of our assumptions. Including the concept of perfection. Ask a parent, friend, or colleague of someone with Down Syndrome about their view, and you will hear the word “perfect” a lot. The way that children and adults with Down Syndrome face their challenges and the love they are able to share- everything that they are- redefines how we conceive of perfection. Anyone touched by knowing them has to question and recalibrate the conventional value system. Let us honor that by creating opportunities for those with Down syndrome to utilize their unique capabilities and thrive. Adults with Down Syndrome face high unemployment rates because a lot of outdated information still frames the assumptions we make about the abilities of people with the syndrome. It is for us, especially for those working in the hiring ecosystem, to raise awareness, be advocates, and help create systems that enable them further. It is on us to create an environment which recognizes the fact that they are downright perfect. https://lnkd.in/eNB_atYF. https://lnkd.in/eEJye-hH #downsyndromeawarenessmonth #endthestereotypes #downsyndrome #diversityrecruiting #diversityatwork #neurodiversity #recruitment #recruiting #staffing Mindlance India Mindlance Health Quintrix, by Mindlance RebootTalent Vik Kalra Rajat Paul Dhall Rick Ryan Nicki Oakley Dana Ailsworth
